This is the most commonly used question type in Moodle and has a number of settings to to be aware of.

One or multiple answers?: With this you can set if your question will have one or many correct answers.

Shuffle the choices?: If enabled the options (A, B, C, D, etc.) will be displayed in a random order for each student.

Note

If the ordering of the options in the question is intentional (e.g. if you have an option like None/All of the above) then this setting should be disabled.

Number the choices?: How do you want your options to be displayed to students.

Choice X: This represents one option provided to the student. Enter the text for the option in the field provided. If shuffling is enabled then the order of the options will random for each student.

Tip

RECOMMENDED: Do not include any numbering (A, B, C, D, etc.) in the text area as this will be automatically inserted by Moodle according to the Number the choices? setting above.

Grade: If it is not the correct answer then leave the is this set to None. But depending on what it selected for the One or multiple answers? setting:

  1. If this is the only correct option then change the Grade to 100%.

  2. If this is one of the possible correct answers then set the percentage accordingly.

    1. 2 correct answers: Grade is 50% per correct option

    2. 3 correct answers: Grade is 33.3% per correct option, etc.

OPTIONAL: If you have multiple correct answers, some answers can hold more weight than others, provided that the total Grade for the question adds up to 100%.

Warning

If you have multiple correct answers, a student can select all the provided options and receive full points for the question. To counter this, you can implement negative grading at your discretionfor the incorrect options so that if they do select all the provided answers they will not receive the full points.

Feedback: (Optional) If included, if the student selects this specific option to answer the question then the feedback you have included here will be displayed to them once they submit their answers for grading.
